note ahmad <p>If you are running on windows XP or higher you don't need to escape the blank space.</p> <p>Try this:</p> <c> my $path = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop'; opendir(DIR,$path) or die $!; while (my $File = readdir DIR) { print "$File\n"; } closedir(DIR); </c> <p>As I remember older versions of windows only support 8 characters long file/folder name so you'll have to use 6 characters and add ~1 at the end of the file name.</p> <p><strong>I am not very sure I haven't used old windows OS from like 6 years now</strong></p> 818196 818196
